Today I want to share a project using products from both  Altered Pages  and  Stencil 1 . There were three two-part butterflies in this stencil set, and as promised, I am going to show you how I used the third butterfly stencil.  I have tried to vary the techniques, and my previous posts can be viewed by clicking here for the  first post , and here for the  second post . My project today is a layered, collaged card.  Cut yellow card stock to 5-1/2" x 11", folded in half to make a 5-1/2" square card.  Cut two  frames , one larger than the other, from blue and yellow houndstooth card stock. Cut a third piece from gray print to measure 2-1/2" by 5-1/2"; punch one edge with Trellis punch.  Adhere all three pieces, as shown in photo above. Trace open butterfly onto yellow print paper with a pencil. Align matching detail butterfly stencil over penciled image and apply Versamark ink through openings. Heat emboss with black puff em...

Greetings everyone!  Today I'm sharing a quick layering project.  You can use this paper tole technique with everything from stencils, to stamps, to our own Altered Pages  graphic collage images. On a 6x6 canvas board , I sponged turquoise paint through the main stencil over a purple background.  It's a textured canvas so I didn't get a crisp line. With the outline part of my Stencil 1 , I cut out three lotus blossoms in different hues of pink to mimic how light shining on the flower would give the petals different hues.  Then I used the detail part of the stencil to sponge on the petals.  I didn't bother to ink them all completely because Part of each was discarded. Once the layers were cut out and glued together I used the detail stencil to blend the three layers together in a few places where my cut lines showed too much. I let the rough outline of turquoise show to act like the flower's shadow. It's a quick project toda...

(Well, maybe not for you, but we'll see--we all have our "thing", right?) A nice little teacup shape, some modeling paste and paint with the help of a Stencil1 stencil, and you know what, this one needed glitter: Add the glorious Altered Pages muse: Each cup of tea holds a glorious muse. She's a refrigerator magnet, believe it or not.  What can I say--I really like tea!  Couldn't let the extra bit of tinted paste go to waste, so added it (via the Stencil1 stencil, also) to a Gelli print scrap: All ready for a few atcs.   (As usual, if you're interested, there is a little more info on my blog .) So, what's your glorious muse today?   Happy Thursday, everyone! :)trisha       GIVEAWAY   NOW for our giveaway!
